A state prison parolee has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of two Little Rock women.

Anthony Brooks was already in the Pulaski County jail for threatening to kill his mother when he was charged Friday with killing 50-year-old Gloria Summage and 31-year-old Amy May Hughett.

Online records do not list an attorney for Brooks.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/18fRCmU ) that Summage was found dead in her burned home on June 19 and that Hughett's body was found in a pile of burning tires on June 27. Police say the two women did not know each other — but that both knew Brooks.

Brooks was released from prison in March after serving about 6½ years of a 10-year sentence for theft and aggravated robbery.
